She has flown to, arms to maintain her religion -and laWs,. as established :by her antient .Princes, The cry of ". liberty", which the sanguinary mob of France have rendered as Odious and contemptible as their admirers. in this Country have the name of Whig," and which was in variably the signal of the most intOlerable oppres sitm, has never been heard in Spain. There, the Watch-word is their " legitimate. King," and under the S3lldioll of that sacred term, they are advancing With a firmness which nothing can shake, a courage Which nothing can dismay, a -force which nothing .can resist, to extirpte• the murderous hosts of the most stupid, the most perfidious, and the most bru tal of tyrants ! " I know of no authority," said the'• noble -spirited BLAKE to BESSiERES, who probabl?' Mistook him for a German, and sought to• seduce him irom his duty, " but that of my legitimate So ve.reign FERDINAND VII. To him and his heirs my allegiance is vowed, and if these should unfortunate.: ly fail, f shall then acknowledge no other Sovereign . thanthe Cortes lawfully assembled." Such is tho.s4 general voice of S.pain, and such is their ,deteat ativa 9 1 the,rinciples and conduct of the French.: Revolutionists, that, as if they feared some.malig,:: nant snirits in other countries would find; or affeot t°- find,,zn approximation to them, they have scrupn hiudv avoided, in all [ heir proceedings, the slightest Irn4dtkin of any one step taken by the traitors and 43ppressors- of France. • • Thus widely remote from them in ihenornmence rnent and pkozress of their noble struggle, the Spa nish people will differ still more from them in its terntination. France, after deluging itself,and the rest of Europe with blood, is.deltvered up, fettered in every joint, !0 the caprice of a miserable Corsican, an outcast tfoin his own country, and the scorn and opprobrium of the human race. She seen herself the hate and terror of Europe, and when calmer titres shall a l low the .eye of contemplation to fix on her domestic history, she will be regarded for ages with unmitigated horror and disgust—While Spain, the admiration and delight of mankind, fight. • jog in defence of her Religion, her Monatteh, her L2W6, opposing integrity to injustice, and 'if' spirit 'of order to the madness of innovation, will re-. Pose, after an arduous but glorious struggle, under the shadeof her own laurels, and the mild sway of her l egitimat e Prince, amidst the consolations of re 'tom and the invigorating refleiaions that she owes, those invaluable blessings to her sense of duty, and her il/fiexible loyalty and obedience.

They say, and .with some appearance of justice, .than when he pressed the Catholic QUestion'on his 'Sovereign, he •did not "despise the vulgar 'dread of 'disaffetlion," but was unfortunately ignorant of the-geueral . o:..inicin on the st:bjea and he was -so far rtoin " thinking lightly of a foreign sword," that; pf all, Europe can witness, he felt - such terror at BUONAPARTE'S, that he : retired from Sicily (where only he Could come in aintacrl with it) to Egypt . .and without makingYthe slightest intitalpt to a-r -rest, or to assist in, arrwting its murderous progress, resigned - the world to destiny.

I have always considered it to be tree duty of , a Chairman to alt with impart- - tiality and propriety, , and not to introduCe any toast at a public dinner in a' clandestine manner. -TO prove thatet:had no such intention, the toasts were printed, - ' ith" . a translation for theinforniation of the visitors, and distributed at the table at which I sat, although I believesthey were only partially cir enlaced at the - 6ther tables. All the friendly Go vernments, with their respeEtivc Sovereigns, were. given in regular succession; Spain, Portugal,'S'Neden, Skily;concluding with America. My situation Was a public one, and it was not permitted for me to in dulge a plicate opinion or feeling ; striet , impartiality and coned propriety demanded that I should pro pose, and not omit, America, with whom we are in amity and friendship, placing that Country on an equal fodting with the -rest, An American Minister is here we have one in America ; a state of peace must therefore be supposed to exist ; and it would havu been presumption for me, in the Chair of so respedlable an Assembly, and in ftp presence of his Majeqty's Ministers, -to have deckled whether the present state of the cote/eel - ions between the two countries was more or less friendly.
